Keep moving after a puncture - run-flat technology fitted with expert TPMS advice.
Run flat tyres let you keep driving after a puncture - usually up to 50 miles at 50 mph - because a reinforced sidewall carries the vehicle instead of air. They are standard fitment on many premium models, and our workshop supplies, fits and balances run flats for BMW, MINI, Mercedes and more.
Run flats depend on your tyre pressure monitoring system - without the warning light it is impossible to know a tyre is deflating. We explain exactly how your system warns you and what to do when it does, so you are never caught out.

Run-flat tyres carry a reinforced sidewall that supports the vehicle - usually for around 50 miles at up to 50 mph - after a total loss of air. They are standard on many premium cars that carry no spare, so it pays to know how yours warns you and what to do when it does.
Repairs to run-flat rubber are only permitted within strict manufacturer guidelines and after a full internal inspection, because running a deflated tyre can damage the casing invisibly. We assess each tyre properly and give you the straight answer - including which TPMS sensors your car needs.
Sometimes - but only within strict manufacturer guidelines and after a full internal inspection. We will assess the tyre and advise honestly either way.
If your car left the factory on run flats and carries no spare, we generally recommend like-for-like. Tell us your registration and we will confirm what fits.
